<p>The Bolivarian government is informing the people of Venezuela, and
our brother peoples, of the development of President Hugo Chavez’s
health.</p>
<p>Today will be two weeks since our president returned to his
Venezuelan homeland, a decision which he made himself, following the
surgery which he underwent in Havana, Cuba, on December 11 last year.</p>
<p>From today, there has been deterioration in his respiratory
performance, related to the immunodeficiency of his current clinical
condition. At present he is suffering from a new and serious
respiratory infection.</p>
<p>The president has been receiving intense chemotherapy, as well as
other complementary treatments, with the dosage according to the
development of his clinical state. </p>
<p>His general state of health continues to be very delicate.</p>
<p>The president is taking refuge in Christ and in life, conscious of
the difficulties that he is facing and strictly following the programme
designed by his medical team.</p>
<p>The Bolivarian government continues to accompany the <em>comaandante’s</em>
children and his other family members.</p>
<p>In this battle of love and spirituality, the president calls on our
people to remain on the front-lines, unscathed by the psychological
warfare spread by foreign laboratories with their spokespeople in the
corrupt Venezuelan rightwing, which is attempting to bring about a
violent situation in order to create the pretext for a foreign
intervention in Bolivar’s homeland.</p>
<p>Additionally, the Bolivarian government rejects the hypocritical
attitude of those historic enemies of Hugo Chavez, who have always
lavished him with their hate, insults and disrespect, and who now try
to use the situation of his health as an excuse to destabilise the
Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.</p>
<p>Fortunately, with <em>Comandante</em> Chavez the Venezuelan people
were awakened, and those sectors from the corrupt right will never
again return.</p>
<p>At this time, unity and discipline are the bases which will
guarantee the political stability of our homeland.</p>
<p>Long-live Chavez!</p>
<p>Caracas, March 4 2013.</p>
